Dear all, A month after having finished my solo cycling trip that took me from la Paz (Bolivia), through San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) to Salta (Argentina) with some final days in Paraguay, I now made a video summary. Enjoy 🙂
So I left you all in Salta, Argentina, after I had cycled the last couple of kilometers of this trip. As always, I didn´t want this trip to be over just yet.

The words Iceland, and low-budget somehow seem to exclude each other. But, with some creativity, some ver strict rules and letting all hope for culinary standards go, Iceland is very do-able on a shoestring. On my way from Denver, USA, to Amsterdam my flight with Iceland Air was stopping in Reykjavik for a couple of hours. Since Iceland had been …
